    Skirmish in Turnersburg

    A War Between the States living history and skirmish on November 21st at the 1812 Hitching Post in Turnersburg, NC (near Statesville).

    The 1812 Hitching Post is a historic home and sits on over a hundred acres of pasture, fields, and woodland. It is a perfect location to hold a skirmish. We plan to camp (for those that can) on Friday night. There will be plenty of firewood to keep us warm.
    The living history will be from 9am to 3pm, with a scripted battle for the crowd at 1pm. The folks that run the 1812 Hitching Post will provide a very nice
    lunch for the reenactors (free of charge).

    We are also planning to have a tactical for the reenactors only around 8:30am. As I mentioned the property lends itself very well for this as well.

    Let me know if you would like to come. If so, please let me about how many from your respective units will attend. This will help with planning the lunch.

    Directions from Statesville: Travel north on I-77 to Exit 54 Hwy 21. Take Hwy 21 north just over 6 miles. The 1812 Hitching Post will be on the left at 2463 Turnersburg Hwy. N.
    Directions from US 421 Exit 263: Travel south on Hwy 21 about 14 miles. The 1812 Hitching Post will be on the right at 2463 Turnersburg Hwy. N.
